Pop Art - Image Research



This piece of work shows lots of detail although does not fit the typical pop-art theme. It has a dot gradient over his face.


This is a normal pop-art that is found, they have used Jake The Dog from Adventure Time and put colours that contrast with eachother.



Another peice of typically normal pop-art though this is done with someone's lips. The colours work well with eachother as they all contrast.


A modern version of pop-art. Lots of colours used and has a grain, which is common amongst other modern pop-art pieces.


Heinz Tomato Ketchup shows a bright blue background which constrasts with the background. The bottle then has many patterns and colours in it. The image works well as a whole.



Again, this image has lots of colours and patterns. This isnt the most typical type of pop-art.

The pop-art piece is my favourite as it represents two people on the pop art instead of a colour which would be seen on normal pop tart.

Pop Art - Research Task

Pop-art was around from the late 1950s through to 1960s although still takes place even today, people make a selection of modern takes on pop art. Pop art was used in commercial products such as soup, powder containers, comics and pop bottles. Pop art later moved to more common products in day-to-day products. A popular soup is Campbell’s Soup brand which was designed by Andy Warhol who duplicated designs and created iconic bright and vibrant colours. Famous artists of the Pop Art genre is, as mentioned, Andy Warhol who created iconic branding for Campbell’s Soup, as well as Andy there are other famous artists. Keith Harring gained international success during the 80s creating a piece of work called “LUCKY STRIKE”. Another key duo in the Pop Art movement is Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggenare who placed an ice cream on top of a building in the United States. Pop Art constitutes a selection of bright and vibrant colors often repeated and changed for each repeat and can be found in collage form and in most cases seen as a cartoon incorporated with a real image. I think Pop Art was created by painters who all had the same vision.  Pop Art was made by the technique of benday which allows brighter colors to be added to your work. Pop Art is similar to graffiti in the sense they use spray cans and stencils. Pop Art could be used in advertising or branding of a product as it enables a unique look that is colorful and eye-catching, it can also be used in advertising as its not adverse and allows interest to be drawn to them. The product that could be used is anything vibrant and colorful. The equipment needed is 2 redlights, props, seamless white background, camera and tripod.
